Types of slaves

Here is a listing of the types of slaves there are, if you choose to call yourself one of these, make sure you know what you are talking about and have either studied or trained in it completely.

KAJIRA/KAJIRUS:

These are slaves, female and male respectively. There are many types of slaves to be found, however, the most common in the tavern is the common kajira, a multipurpose personal slave, and the female tavern slave. These slaves are referred to as "kettle-and-mat slaves." In other words, they do everything from serve as scullions, cooking, and serving, to warming a Master's furs at night. Pleasure slaves are often referred to, but actually are not that common. Just because a slave is used for pleasure, that does not qualify her to be a true pleasure slave. However, the term is in common use now, as many female slaves are given the basic instruction in how to serve as a sexual slave.

Kajirus- A Male Slave

"The brand itself, in the case of the girls, is a rather graceful mark, being the initial letter of the Gorean expression for slave in cursive script. If a male is branded, the same initial is used, but in a block letter."Book 2, Outlaw of Gor, pages 186 - 187

"The small, heavy lock on a girls slave collar, incidentally, may be of several varieties, but almost all are cylinder locks, either of the pin or disk variety. In a girls collar lock there would be six pins or six disks, one each, it is said, for each letter of in the Gorean word for female slave, kajira; the male slave, or kajirus, seldom has a locked collar; normally a band of iron is simply hammered about his neck; often he works in chains, usually with other male slaves."Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page 51

"In some cities, including Ar, an unchained male slave is almost never seen; there are, incidentally, far fewer male slaves than female slaves;"Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page 51

"The pools were beautiful, and yet I knew that somewhere, chained in darkness, were gangs of male slaves who cleaned them each night;"Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page ??

"Harold, as a boy, had once been a slave in the baths, those of the city of Turia, before he had escaped. He had told me that sometimes a Bath Girl, to discipline her, is thrown to the slaves in the darkness."Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page ??

"Male slaves, on Gor, are not particularly valuable, and do not command high prices. Most labor is performed by free men. Most commonly, male slaves are utilized on the cargo galleys, and in the mines, and on the great farms. They also serve, frequently, as porters at the wharves. Still, perhaps they are fortunate to have their lives, even at such a price. Males captured in war, or in the seizure of cylinders or villages, or in the pillaging of caravans, are commonly slain. The female is the prize commodity in the Gorean slave markets. A high price for a male is a silver tarsk, but even a plain wench, of low caste, provided she moves well to the touch of the auctioneer's coiled whip, will bring as much, or more. An exception to the low prices for males generally is that paid for a certified woman's slave, a handsome male, silken clad, who has been trained to tend a woman's compartments. Some of such bring a price comparable to that brought by a girl, of average loveliness. Prices, of course, tend to fluctuate with given markets and seasons. If there are few such on the market in a given time, their prices will tend to be proportionately higher. Such men tend to be sold in the women's auctions, closed to free men, with the exception, of course, of the auctioneer and such personnel. Some of such bring a price comparable to that brought by a girl, of average loveliness."Book 8, Hunters of Gor, page 32

"The litany and responses of the congregation were now completed and the initiates, some twenty within the rail, began to sing in archaic Gorean. I could make out little of the wording. There was an accompaniment by sistrums. Portions of the hymn were taken up by four dedicated boys, standing outside the white on a raised platform. Their heads were shaved and they wore robes resembling those of the initiates. Choirs of such boys often sang in the great temples. They were young male slaves, purchased by initiates, castrated by civil authorities and, in the monasteries, trained in song. I supposed, to one versed in music, their soprano voices were very beautiful. I did not care much for them. Here in the far north, of course, in Kassau, to have any such boys, properly trained in the archaic hymns, indicated some wealth. I did not think such singers existed even in Lydius."Book 9, Marauders of Gor, page 42

"Slavery also, of course, encompasses the ownership of male slaves, for which there is less precedent in nature. Where males are concerned the institution is primarily economic. The labor of male slave is useful and cheap. It is applied in such places as the quarries, the roads, the great farms, in certain types of cargo galleys, on the wharves, at the walls of cities and in the forests. Male slaves are usually debtors or criminals; sometimes they are captives, taken in actions against enemy cities or facilities; sometimes they have merely accrued the displeasure of powerful men or families; some slavers, working in gangs, specialize in the capture of free men for work projects; they obtain a fee per head on a contractual basis."Book 12, Beasts of Gor, pages 235 - 236

" 'You seem to have no male slaves,' I observed.'They are now scarce in Schendi,' he said. 'Bila Huruma, Ubar of Lake Ushindi, uses them for work on his great canal.' "Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 125

BARBARIANS (Earth Girls):

" 'Are many Gorean slave girls of Earth origin?' she asked. 'I assume all human Goreans are of Earth origin,' I said. 'I mean,' she said, 'like me, a girl born and raised on Earth, and then brought to Gor as a slave.''Statistically,' I said, 'surely few. How many I would not know.''Ten,' she asked, 'twenty?''Perhaps some four or five thousand,' I said. 'I would not know.' Such a number, I conjectured, would not even be missed in a population which teemed like that of Earth."Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 247

"Soon she was gasping. She was an Earth girl. She was not in the condition of the Gorean slave girl, with her almost perfect diet, imposed by masters, her muscles toned by a regime of exercises, her legs and wind toughened by long hours of training in sensuous dance."Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 407

" 'You excite me, Master,' she said. 'Does that horrify you? Does that scandalize you? Does it startle and discomfort you, does it so dismay you, does it seem so hard to comprehend, that a woman from Earth could be sexually excited, that she could have sexual desires, that she could feel helpless and frustrating passion, that she could beg even to be sexually satisfied?''It is not typical,' I said. 'And it is not permitted.''It is typical!' she said. 'How little you know of women! And on Gor it is permitted--to slaves!' I did not speak.'On Gor,' she said, 'I have experienced feelings and sensations I never knew could exist. Inhibitions have been shattered, some of them commanded from me by strong men and the blows of the whip, I have learned to live and to feel. My emotions have been freed. My deepest sexuality and nature have on this world at last been fully liberated. I have found myself. I love and I serve. I now know at last what and who I am, a love slave for uncompromising masters.' "Book 15, Rogue of Gor, page 15

BATH GIRLS:

Beneath the toweling Nela wore nothing; about her neck, rather than a common slave collar, she like the other bath girls, wore a chain and plate. On her plate was the legend: I am Nela of the Capacian Baths. Pool of Blue Flowers. I cost one tarsk. Nela was an expensive girl, thought there were pools where the girls cost as much as a silver tarn disk. The tarsk is a silver coin, worth forty copper tarn disks. All the girls in the Pool of Blue Flowers cost the same, except novices in training who would go for ten or fifteen copper tarn disks. There were dozens of pools in the vast, spreading Capacian Baths. In some of the larger pools the girls went as cheaply as one copper tarn disk. For the fee one was entitled to use the girl as he wished for as long as he wished, his use of course, limited by the hours of the pools closing. The first time I had seen Nela, several days ago, she had been playing in the pool alone, rolling about. It took but one glance and I dove into the water swam to her, seized her by the ankle and dragged her under, kissing her, rolling about beneath the surface. I liked the lips and feel of her and when we broke surface, she and I laughing, I asked her how much she went for. For a tarsk, she laughed, and turned about, looking at me, but you will have to catch me first. I knew this game of the bath girls, as though they, mere slaves, would dare to truly flee from one who pursued them, and I laughed, and she, too, sensing my understanding, laughed. The girl commonly pretends to swim away but is outdistanced and captured. I knew that few men could, if a bath girl did not wish it, come close to them in the water. They spend much of the day in the water and , it is said, are more at ease in that element than the Cosian song fish. from Assassins of Gor, pages 158 - 166...

The term for a slave girl used in Torvaldsland, also called a girl who's belly lies under the sword. Jarls do not enslave the women of Torvaldsland. They are raiders, much like the Earth Vikings, their women seized by the enemy. Those of Torvaldsland draw a bonds maid circle, a woman may enter of her own free will or be thrown there, bound by custom, hence becoming a bond maid, or slave. Also, the girls are not locked in the typical locked Gorean collar, instead, a simple black band is hammered into a half circle, the girl lays her neck into it, then it is formed the rest of the way, hammered and bolted shut. So, like the Earth Vikings, they are pillaged or taken by sword.

"The women cried out in misery. To enter the circle, if one is a female, is, by the laws of Torvaldsland, to declare oneself a bond-maid. A woman, of course, need not enter the circle of her own free will. She may, for example, be thrown within it, naked and bound. Howsoever she enters the circle, voluntarily or by force, free or secured, she emerges from it, by the laws of Torvaldsland, as a bond-maid."Book 9, Marauders of Gor, page 44

"I saw people running down the sloping green land, toward the water. Several came form within the palisade. Among them, white kirtled, collared, excited, ran bond-maids. These, upon the arrival of their Master are permitted to greet him. The men of the north enjoy the bright eyes, the leaping bodies, the squealing, the greetings of their bond-bond maids. In the fields I saw an overseer, clad in scarlet, with a gesture of his hand, releasing the thralls. Then, they, too, ran down toward the water."Book 9, Marauders of Gor, pages 82 - 83

COIN GIRL:

A slave girl, who, with a coin box and a triangular flat bell chained around her neck, is sent out in the streets to earn money from Masters in return for her sexual use.

"I unwrapped then the object from the silk on the table. There was the sound of the metal clapper in the narrow, flattish, triangular shaped bell, the rustle of the chain and lock, the sound of the small, metal, sturdy, rectangular, locked coin box. I dangled the chain, the girl bell and the coin box before her eyes.'Do you know what this is?' I asked her.'Yes, Master,' she whispered, frightened.'Excellent,' said Tasdryon, 'excellent,' and he rose from the table, letting himself out of the room with a key, by means of a side door, one which led up a flight of stairs, presumably to private compartments. He locked the door behind him. He would return shortly with the keys to her bells and collar.'Stand. Slave,' I said.Peggy stood, beautifully.Tasdron crouched beside her left ankle and with his key, removed the slave bells from her left ankle. Such bells are seldom put on by the slave or removed by the slave. Almost always they are put on or removed by one who is in authority over the slave. The girl seldom puts them on or removes them rather it is hers to wear them, and as a slave, for as long or briefly as masters see fit.I then, not hurrying, lifted the heavy chain, with its bell and box, about the girl's neck. I stood behind her. I then, not yet dropping the chain about her neck, but holding it about her neck, closed the lock. She shuddered. It was on her, though she could not yet feel its weight as I had not yet released it, that it might fall against the back of her neck. Tasdron then with a key, removed his collar from her throat. I then dropped the chain about her neck. The heavy black links were obdurate against the small, soft hairs on the back or her slender, lovely neck. I then threw her hair back again, in place. I then walked about her, and before her. She who had once been Peggy Baxter, of Earth, then stood before me in the apparatus of a Gorean coin girl."Book 15, Rogue of Gor, page 233

"It is called the Street of the Writhing Slave. It is dark and narrow, and not far from the wharves. It has its name from the fact that most renters of, and dealers in, Coin Girls in Victoria, keep their kennels on this street. The girls of the day, designated by a coiled whip pressed against their left shoulder, wearing their neck chains, with the attached bell and coin box, are sent into the streets in the late afternoon and expected to return before the nineteenth ahn. And woe to the girl who does not return with a jangling coin box on her neck chain! Some girls, once designated, and locked in their accoutrements, kneeling, weeping, scratch even at the insides of the stout gates of their masters' houses, hoping to be sent into the streets early, that their chances of turning a profit for their master, and thus avoiding a beating or torture, may be enhanced. Such a lenience, however, is seldom shown to the girls, as it is against an agreement binding the entrepreneurs engaged in this trade. Sometimes the girls are sent into the streets with their hands braceleted behind their backs. Sometimes they are sent into the streets with their small hands free, that they may use them to please their master's customers. Sometimes a new girl is sent into the streets on a leash, with an older girl, that she may learn how a Coin Girl behaves."Book 16, Guardsman of Gor, pages 143 - 144

"The girl had been half naked, in a brown rag. I had thought she had been superb. To be sure Coin Girls are usually regarded as the lowest form of Gorean street slave."Book 16, Guardsman of Gor, page 144

"I continued to walk up the Street of the Writhing Slave. Such girls, now, as it was late, past the nineteenth Ahn, would surely, at least for the most part, be chained in their basement kennels, lying on their straw mats, trying to sleep, clutching their thin blankets about their nude bodies."Book 16, Guardsman of Gor, page 144

"I regarded her, in the yellowish, flickering light of the tiny tharlarion-oil lamp, late at night, on the rude stones of that dark, narrow street in Victoria. She stood before me, small, slim, exquisite, beautiful. Her binding-fiber- belted, wrap around tunic was brown, and of clinging, thin rep-cloth; it was sleeveless and had a plunging neckline; it was slave short. About her neck there was a chain. From the chain there hung two objects; the first was a narrow, bronze bell, flattish and tapering, with a flat top and ring; when she moved it would sound, calling attention to her whereabouts; the second was a metal coin box, which contained a slot for the deposition of coins; the coin box was locked. I had not heard coins sound, from within the coin box. Too, about her neck, under the chain, with its dangling articles, there was a high, tight leather collar. Her leash, in the hands of the other girl, was attached to a ring at the back of this collar. The leash, too, was of leather, and long. It was coiled four or five times in the hands of the other girl. More Gorean leashes are long. There are two advantages to the long leash. It may be used, if one wishes, to bind the slave, and its long end, if one wishes, may easily serve as a whipping strap."Book 16, Guardsman of Gor, page 145

"The girl who held her leash then jerked twice on the leash. 'May I serve your pleasure, Master?' asked the leashed girl.'I thought you were a Coin Girl,' I said.'She is a Coin Girl,' said the girl who held her leash. Then she jerked the leash once, against the collar ring.'I am a Coin Girl,' said the leashed girl, before me.'Interest him,' said the other girl.'I am yours for a tarsk bit, Master,' said the leashed girl.'Open your tunic,' said the other girl.The girl then slipped loose the binding-fiber belt, letting it fall against the two belt loops in the back. Then, with her left hand and her right hand, parting the tunic, holding it open, she showed herself to me.She was the most beautiful, and attractive, woman I had ever seen.'It is my hope that I please Master,' she said.'Beverly,' I said. 'She has no name,' said the girl who held her leash, 'Her master has not yet given her one. but once, it is true, that she was known as Beverly. For that reason I suggest, if you are interested in her, that you give her, for your use of her, another name.'I regarded the beautiful girl. she trembled. she did not close her tunic."Book 16, Guardsman of Gor, page 146

" 'You are a female, and he is a man,' said the girl who held the leash. 'Interest him.''Please, Mistress,' begged the girl.'Bite at his tunic, and lick at his legs and feet,' commanded the girl who held the leash.Softly then did the bell of the Coin Girl sound, and the chain and coin box on her neck, as she who had once been Miss Henderson turned her head to the side, and began, with her small, fine white teeth, to bite and nibble at the hem of my tunic. I felt these small tugs, piteous and delicate, and then she, with her lips, pressed the wet tunic against my thigh and through the wet cloth, kissed me. She then, putting her head down, began to lick and kiss at my legs and feet. She performed this submission behavior for several minutes, piteously, desperately, beseechingly, entreatingly. Then, at last, her head down, over my feet, she whispered, begging, 'Please have me for a tarsk bit, Master. Please have me for only a tarsk bit, Master.' "Book 16, Guardsman of Gor, page 147" 'It is late,' said the girl with the leash. 'It is past the nineteenth Ahn. That you should be out now is even against the agreements of the renters of Coin Girls.'Book 16, Guardsman of Gor, page 149

" 'A Coin Girl,' said the girl with the leash, 'will struggle to please a man as much for a tarsk bit, as a high paga slave for a thousand gold pieces, to be paid by her master's customer for her use.''I see,' I said.'The level of skill in the Coin Girl, of course,' said the girl with the leash, 'are commonly much lower.' This was true, of course. Yet it must be mentioned that sometimes Coin Girls are extremely skillful. Too, it is not unknown for a master to sometimes send even an exquisitely trained, beautiful high slave into the streets, usually as a joke or a discipline. Such a girl knows that she must perform superbly. Some of the men she falls in with may have been hired by her master, to report back on the quality of her services."Book 16, Guardsman of Gor, pages 149 - 150

DISPLAY SLAVE:

A slave girl who's primary purpose is for the display of her beauty to reflect the affluence of her Master; often chained in coffle with other display slaves behind the palanquin or other transport of her Master.

WHIP SLAVE:

--In the Mines of Tharna--"The Whip Slave, another of the slaves of Tharna, but one in charge of the chain, was pleased with his task. Though he might never see the light of the sun, yet it was he who held the whip, he who was Ubar in this macabre dungeon....There was pleasure in the eyes of the Whip Slave as he enjoyed the tormenting moment of suspense which his uplifted whip inflicted on the ragged, hungry slaves. The whip cracked. 'Feed!' he shouted."Book 2, Outlaw of Gor, page 169

FIRST GIRLS:

" 'You are 1st girl,' I told Constance.'Yes, Master' she said. 'Constance is 1st girl,' I told her who had been the Lady Tina of Lydius.'Yes, Master', said she who had been the Lady Tina of Lydius.'Address her as Mistress,' I told the former free girl.'Mistress,' said she who had been the former Lady Tina of Lydius, frightened, to Constance. 'Slave,' responded Constance to her, confirming the former free woman as second girl........the two girls, the blond and the brunette, first girl and second girl, yet both really new slaves, neither of whom had as yet even been branded."Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 135

"She was dressed, save for her bondage strings, in much the same way as most of the women of the red hunters, bare- breasted, with high boots and panties. Thistle, however, behind her, was naked, in a northern yoke and on a leather leash....'We are going to pick moss and grass,' she said.'That is good,' I said. 'Why is Thistle yoked?''It pleased me, Master,' said Thimble, first girl.'Was she insubordinate?' I asked. 'She said a sharp word to me,' said Thimble.'Did you switch her, too?' I asked. 'Of course, Master,' said Thimble.'Excellent,' I said. Discipline must be kept in the tent."Book 12, Beasts of Gor, pages 196 - 197

" 'How are her lessons in Gorean coming along?'Sasi shrugged. 'I am teaching her as I can,' she said. 'Barbarians are so stupid.'I had had Sasi, at the invitation of Ulafi, spend several hours a day tutoring the blond girl in Gorean. Sasi enjoyed this, standing over the blond girl with a strap, striking her when she made mistakes. When she had had a good session Ulafi would sometimes, when he thought of it, throw her a bit of cake or pastry, which she would gratefully receive. She would then kneel before Ulafi and kiss his feet, clutching the bit of cake or pastry. 'Thank you, Master,' she would say. She would then kneel before Sasi, her teacher, and offer her the bit of cake or pastry, which Sasi would take, taking most of it and returning a portion of it to her. 'Thank you, Mistress,' she would say, for Sasi was first girl. She would then creep to her cage, and be locked within it. She would lie curled up in it, a lovely, helpless slave, and try to make the bit of cake or pastry last as long as possible."Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 77

"It was natural enough, in the circumstances, for Tafa to have addressed Phoebe as 'Mistress.' As Tafa was currently subject to us, and Phoebe was with us, this put Phoebe in a position of de facto priority to her. For example, in a group of female slaves, for example, in a pleasure gardens, a fortress or a tavern, there will usually be a girl appointed First Girl. Indeed, if there is a large number of slaves, there are sometimes hierarchies of 'first girls,' lower-level first girls reporting to higher level first girls, and so on. The lower-level slaves will commonly address their first girl as 'Mistress.' Thus, in some situations, the same girl may be first girl to certain girls and be subordinated herself to another, on a higher level, whom she will address as 'Mistress.' Sometimes a hierarchy is formed in which girls are ranked in such a manner that each must address the girls above her as 'Mistress.' More commonly, it is only the lowest slave, usually the newest slave, who must do this with all the others, whereas the others will address only their first girl as 'Mistress,' and , of course, any free woman whom they might, to their risk, or peril, encounter. "Book 25, Magicians of Gor, page 123

A slave, not trained, but bred specifically for sex. No Earth person is EVER a passion slave. It inconceivable and impossible. No passion slave is ever taken to Earth, either. Passion slaves are considered to be "exotics", and like other exotics they have been selectively bred to enhance and maximize a specific quality which their Master regards as pleasing, in this case sexual responsiveness. Passion slaves breed true, and even the offspring of passion slaves will have the mark of the house which bred them upon their bodies. In this way they are easily identified. Male passion slaves are sometimes left un-branded which makes them harder to identify, except that any male passion slave (typically utilized as "silk-slaves" by wealthy free women of cities other than Ar) are uncommonly beautiful and almost always have a club foot (inherited from the mother). DO NOT claim to be a passion slave, unless you have read all there is of Gor and know all there is to be of Gor.

"I remembered, too, the girls in the last tavern, if it was a tavern, lascivious in their dancing silks, pleasure slaves bred like animals for passion. If there were natural slaves and natural free men, as the Older Tarl had insisted, those girls were natural slaves. It was impossible to conceive of them as other than they had been..."Book 1, Tarnsman of Gor, page 61

"Watching us was a woman in Pleasure Silk, of remarkable beauty, yet with a certain subtle hardness and contempt about her. She wore a yellow collar, that of the House of Cernus, and yellow Pleasure Silk. The slave bells, a double row, were locked on her left ankle. About her throat there hung a slave whistle. From her right hand, looped about the wrist, there dangled a slave goad. She was fairly complected but had extremely dark hair and dark eyes, very red lips; the movement of her exquisite body was a torment to observe; she looked at me with a slight smile, regarding the black of the tunic, the mark of the dagger; her lips were full and magnificently turned, probably a characteristic bred into her; I had no doubt this black-haired, cruelly beautiful woman was a bred Passion Slave. She was one of the most rawly sensuous creatures on which I had ever looked.'I am Sura,' she said, looking at me, 'I teach girls to give pleasure to men.'"Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page 150

"Most Gorean slave girls are comely, or beautiful. This is easy to understand. It is almost always the better looking women who are taken for slaves, and, of course, in breeding slaves, it is commonly only the most beautiful of female slaves who are used, these usually being crossed, hooded, with handsome male silk slaves, also hooded. The female offspring of these matings needless to say, are often exquisite......... Some female slaves, incidentally, have a pedigreed lineage going back through several generations of slave matings, and their masters hold the papers to prove this. It is a felony in Gorean law to forge or falsify such papers....... In the case of the bred female slave, of course, she has been legally and literally, in anyone's understanding, bred to the collar, and in a full commercial and economic sense, as a business speculation on the part of masters. The features most often selected for by the breeders are beauty and passion opposed to the pseudomasculine type of intelligence often found in women with large amounts of male hormones, is commonly linked, apparently genetically, with these two hitherto mentioned properties."Book 17, Savages of Gor, pages 68 - 69

FLUTE SLAVE:

"This is not unusual at an inn. The proportions, then, would be one part paga to five parts water. Commonly, at a paga tavern, the paga would be cut less, or not cut at all. When wine is drunk with Gorean meals, at home, incidentally, it is almost always diluted, mixed with water in a krater. At a party of convivial supper the host, or elected feast master, usually determines the proportions of water to wine. Unmixed wine, of course, may be drunk, for example, at the parties of young men, at which might appear dancers, flute slaves and such. Many Gorean wines, it might be mentioned, if only by way of explanation, are very strong, often having an alcohol content by volume of forty to fifty percent."Book 23, Renegades of Gor, page 70

PIERCED EAR SLAVE:

A slave girl who's ears have been pierced. As piercing a girls ears is considered the "ultimate" degradation, it virtually guarantees that the girl will never be freed. The practice first became popular in Turia, but has gained acceptance in the Northern cities.

PLEASURE SLAVE:

A slave specifically taught in the arts of pleasure. A true pleasure slave knows the positions of a slave, many dances, how to cook, serve, and how to make love to a man, how to massage and bathe, all with superb skills. However, the house that trains such girls tends to put its special flavor to a girl. Many prefer to train their own slaves, or refine the skills of a trained slave, rather than have the girl they own trained like a dog, unthinkingly. (Assassin of Gor , the fifth book has many details on the training, but other titles i.e. Slave Girl of Gor, Kajira of Gor and Dancer of Gor also should be studied to get a complete picture )

"I remembered, too, the girls in the last tavern, if it was a tavern, lascivious in their dancing silks, pleasure slaves bred like animals for passion. If there were natural slaves and natural free men, as the Older Tarl had insisted, those girls were natural slaves. It was impossible to conceive of them as other than they had been..."Book 1, Tarnsman of Gor, page 61

"The tavern, like the Capacian Baths, was within fair walking distance of the stadium. It was called, appropriately enough, the Green Tarn, and the proprietor was a genial fellow, bald and red- nosed, called Kliimus. The Pleasure Slaves who served wore green Pleasure Silk, and the tops of the tables and the walls were also painted green; even the curtains on the alcoves by one wall were green."Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page 167

"He suddenly snapped His fingers and, in the swift double gesture of a Gorean Master, pointed to a place on the dirt floor before Him, almost simultaneously turning His hand, spreading His first and index finger, pointing downwards. I fled to Him and knelt before Him, my knees in the dirt, in the position of the pleasure slave, my head down, trembling."Book 7, Captive of Gor, pages 143

--Doreen, still a virgin about to be sold in the marketplace--"I knelt as I had been taught, and as the sort of slave I was, the sort of slave I had first learned I was in Market of Semris, a pleasure slave."Book 22, Dancer of Gor, page 186

RED SILK NON-VIRGINS:

"Cernus smiled. 'Our Physicians ascertained,' said he, 'that she is only a Red Silk Girl.''I scarcely supposed,' said I, 'that you would permit a White Silk girl to go alone on the streets of Ar.'Cernus chuckled. 'Indeed not,' he said. 'The risk is too much, sometimes as much as ten gold pieces.'" Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page 45

" 'But,' had said Ute, 'if a man seizes you, you are not to yield yourself to him, for you are white silk.' A flash of irritation passed through me. 'I am charged with the protection of my market value?' I asked, ironically.'Yes,' said Ute, matter-of-factly. 'Though I, if I were a man, would pay more for a red-silk girl.' 'I must do nothing,' I said, 'to diminish the investment of Rask of Treve?''That is correct,' said Ute.'What if I am simply seized, and my attacker is not prepared to listen to reason?' I asked.Ute laughed. It was the first time I had seen her laugh in the camp. I was pleased I had made her laugh.'Cry out,' said Ute, 'and the others will take you from him and get him a red-silk girl.''All right,' I had said."Book 7, Captive of Gor, pages 306 - 307

"The man whom I had served wine reached clumsily for me.'I am white silk!' I cried, shrinking back.'Wine!' cried the other man.I tried to rise, but the man's hand was knotted in the silk. If I moved I would strip myself.Another girl, on her knees, reaching for him, holding his head, insinuated herself between us. 'I am red silk,' she murmured. 'Touch me! Touch me!'His hands left my silk and I darted away."Book 7, Captive of Gor, pages 324 - 325

"The red silk would diminish suspicion. A red-silked girl in a Gorean fortress is a not uncommon sight."Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 406

" 'There is a stain on your thigh,' I said. 'My Master took my virginity,' she said.'You are now a red-silk girl,' I said.'Yes, Master,' she said, 'I am now a red-silk girl.''Whose red-silk girl?' I asked.'Your red-silk girl, Master,' she said."Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 200

" 'Tela, when captured,' he said, indicating a blonde, 'begged to be kept in white silk.' He laughed. 'After throwing her to a crew, for their pleasure, we put her, as she had asked, in white silk.''Amusing,' I said.'She now often begs for red silk,' he said." Book 15, Rogue of Gor, page 197

" 'To be sure,' I said, ' "white" in the context of "white-silk girl" tends less to suggest purity and innocence to the Gorean than ignorance, naivety, and a lack of experience. One expects a red-silk girl, for example, to not only be able to find her way about the furs, but, subject to the whip, owned and dominated, perhaps chained, to prove herself a sensuous treasure within them."Book 17, Savages of Gor, page 205

"Similarly, the expression 'red-silk,' in Gorean, tends to be used as a category in slaving, and also, outside of the slaving context, as an expression in vulgar discourse, indicating that the woman is no longer a virgin, or, as the Goreans say, at least vulgarly of slaves, that her body has been opened by men. Its contrasting term is 'white-silk,' usually used of slaves who are still virgins, or, equivalently, slaves whose bodies have not yet been opened by men.Needless to say, slaves seldom spend a great deal of time in the 'white-silk' category. It is common not to dally in initiating a slave into the realities of her condition."Book 18, Blood Brothers of Gor, page 472

"The buyers were also informed that I was 'glana' or a virgin. The correlated term is 'metaglana,' used to designate the state to which the glana state looks forward, or that which it is regarded as anticipating. Though the word was not used of me I was also 'profalarina', which term designates the state preceding, and anticipating, that of 'falarina', the state Goreans seem to think of as that of being a full woman, or, at least, as those of Earth might think of it, one who certainly is no longer a virgin. In both terms, 'glana' and 'profalarina,' incidentally, it seems that the states they designate are regarded as immature or transitory, state to be succeeded by more fully developed, superior states, those of 'metaglana' or 'falarina'. Among slaves, not free women, these things are sometimes spoken of along the lines as to whether or not the girl as been 'opened' for the uses of men. Other common terms, used generally of slaves, are 'white silk' and 'red silk', for girls who have not yet been opened, or have been opened, for the uses of men, respectively."Book 22, Dancer of Gor, page 128

"I had been opened, I thought, I was now 'red silk!'"Book 22, Dancer of Gor, page 204

"Then I felt him remove the white-silk ribbon from my collar. In a moment he had fastened something else there, in its place, doubtless another ribbon, doubtless the red-silk ribbon which had been given to him earlier by Mirus. He jerked it down on the collar, snugly."Book 22, Dancer of Gor, page 209

SILK SLAVE:

(Kajirus) A male slave, utilized by Free Women as sexual toys. Typically such slaves are quite handsome, even "pretty" by male standards. These slaves are sometimes effeminate in behaviour, though most often they are more virile in appearance and action, due to the fact that most Gorean Free Women prefer to be served by manly and quite masculine males. This is, however, a dangerous tendency, since such males are often more difficult to control and handle. There is a city ordinance in Ar, which restricts the sexual use or "couching" of such slaves by Free Women, due to the widespread belief that the physical charms of a precious Free Women are reserved only for the Free.

"Cernus smiled. 'Our Physicians ascertained,' said he, 'that she is only a Red Silk Girl.''I scarcely supposed,' said I, 'that you would permit a White Silk girl to go alone on the streets of Ar.'Cernus chuckled. 'Indeed not,' he said. 'The risk is too much, sometimes as much as ten gold pieces.'" Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page 45

"The meal was served by slave girls in white tunics, each wearing a white-enameled collar. These would be girls in training, some of them perhaps White Silk Girls, being accustomed to the routines and techniques of serving table."Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page 88

"One of them carried a large pitcher of the diluted Ka-la-na wine and stepped behind us, climbing the two steps to the broad wooden dais on which our tables were set. She bent over my left shoulder woodenly, her body stiff. 'Wine, Master?' she asked.'She-sleen,' hissed Ho-Tu. 'How is it that you first serve wine to a strange man at the table of your master?''Forgive Lana,' said she, tears springing to her eyes.'You belong in the iron pens,' said Ho-Tu.'He frightens me,' she wept. 'He is of the black caste.''Serve him wine,' said he, 'or you will be stripped and thrown into a pen of male slaves.' The girl turned and withdrew, then approached again, climbing the stairs, delicately, as though timidly, head down. Then she leaned forward, bending her knees slightly, her body graceful, and spoke, her voice a whisper in my ear, an invitation, 'Wine, Master?' as though offering not wine, but herself. In a large house, with various slave girls, it is thought only an act of courtesy on the part of a host to permit a guest the use of one of the girls for the evening. Each of the girls considered eligible for this service, at one time or another during the evening, will approach the guest and offer him wine. His choice is indicated by the one from whom he accepts wine.I looked at the girl. Her eyes met mine, softly. Her lips were slightly parted. 'Wine, Master?' she asked.'Yes,' I said, 'I will have wine.'She poured the diluted wine into my cup, bowed her head and with a shy smile, backed gracefully down the stairs behind me, then turned and hurried away.'Of course,' said Ho-Tu, 'you may not have her tonight, for she is White Silk.''I understand,' I said."Book 5, Assassin of Gor, pages 88 - 89

"....I passed several chained slave girls kneeling on a stone tier. They were doubtless girls in training, and reasonably well advanced in training. They had been brought to see the races, that they might be pleased and stimulated, that they might return to their training refreshed and recreated. They were clearly enjoying themselves, and some were making bets, the stakes being pleasure beads from the contents of the jewelry and cosmetic box allotted to each, usually kept in her cell. They were fastened together wrist to wrist by slave bracelets. At each end of the line there was a guard. The slaves wore light, hooded cloaks, the length of which, when they stood, would fall slightly above the hem of their brief slave livery. The garments had rather large sleeves and fastened with a cord under the chin. It protected them from the sun to some extent but even more from the glances of the curious. Some of the girls, judging by the stripes on the hoods and cloaks were White Silk, and others Red Silk. The White Silk Girls, of course, having been released from the house, would have been placed in locked, iron belts."Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page 147

"Sura turned to Ho-To. 'The Tuchuk girl,' she said, 'keeps quarters with the Assassin. I do not object. Take the others to cells of Red Silk.''They are White Silk,' said Ho-To.Sura laughed. 'Very well,' she said, to cells of White Silk. Feed them well.' "Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page 154

"I pressed against the bars putting my hands through, trying to touch him.He came back to the bars and took my hands, holding me against the bars.'When will you use me?' I asked.'You are white silk,' he had said, and turned away.I had moaned, leaning against the bars, lonely. I was filled with strange sensations. The three moons were bright in the sky. I shook the bars, but I was locked within. I saw him disappear in the darkness, toward the wagons. I held the bars, and pressed my cheek against them, and wept."Book 7, Captive of Gor, pages 106 - 107

" 'But,' had said Ute, 'if a man seizes you, you are not to yield yourself to him, for you are white silk.'A flash of irritation passed through me. 'I am charged with the protection of my market value?' I asked, ironically.'Yes,' said Ute, matter-of-factly. 'Though I, if I were a man, would pay more for a red-silk girl.''I must do nothing,' I said, 'to diminish the investment of Rask of Treve?''That is correct,' said Ute.'What if I am simply seized, and my attacker is not prepared to listen to reason?' I asked. Ute laughed. It was the first time I had seen her laugh in the camp. I was pleased I had made her laugh.'Cry out,' said Ute, 'and the others will take you from him and get him a red-silk girl.''All right,' I had said."Book 7, Captive of Gor, pages 306 - 307

" 'And here,' said Ute, 'lest the ardor of the men become too strong, this!'The girls laughed. She took a white, silken ribbon and wrapped it five times about the collar, not tying it.I had been marked white silk.Inge and Rena laughed. 'Do not laugh,' smiled Ute, 'for you, too, will be so marked, lest Raf and Pron, huntsmen of Treve, in a careless moment, devour my two other white- silk pretties.'"Book 7, Captive of Gor, page 323

"He turned my head from side to side, looking at the earrings. He was drunk, and I could tell that he was aroused.'More wine,' he said. I again filled the cup.'Your ears are pierced,' he said, shaking his head, trying to clear his vision.'If it please Master,' I whispered. 'If it please Master.' 'Wine!' cried another man.I tried to rise......The man whom I had served wine reached clumsily for me.'I am white silk!' I cried, shrinking back.'Wine!' cried the other man.I tried to rise, but the man's hand was knotted in the silk. If I moved I would strip myself.Another girl, on her knees, reaching for him, holding his head, insinuated herself between us. 'I am red silk,' she murmured. 'Touch me! Touch me!'His hands left my silk and I darted away."Book 7, Captive of Gor, pages 324 - 325

"She trembled. I kissed her upon the lips. Her body, that of a white-silk girl, fresh to the collar, was terribly frightened."Book 8, Hunters of Gor, page 95

" 'I am a virgin,' she said. 'You are white-silk,' I said.'Please do not use that vulgar expression of me,' she begged.'Do not fear,' I said, 'it will soon be inappropriate.' "Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 120

" 'You are a pretty slave, Evelyn,' I said.'Thank you Master,' she said.'Are you White Silk?' I asked.'I am virgin,' she said.'Then you are White Silk,' I said."Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 172

" 'Tela, when captured,' he said, indicating a blonde, 'begged to be kept in white silk.' He laughed. 'After throwing her to a crew, for their pleasure, we put her, as she had asked, in white silk.''Amusing,' I said.'She now often begs for red silk,' he said."Book 15, Rogue of Gor, page 197

"We were all naked. It was easier to tell, however, which of us were virgins, for the virgins, like myself, wore the 'iron belt.' Its horizontal position, like an iron oval, would close about my waist, and the vertical position, like a 'U', hinged in front to the horizontal position, flattened, shaped and slotted at its center, would swing up between my legs and there its flattened, laterally slotted end, like a hasp, would be placed over the staple on the left side of the oval ring, the right side, already over this staple, secured there, behind my back, with a heavy, dangling padlock. There was little danger I would be penetrated while wearing this device."Book 22, Dancer of Gor, pages 64 - 65

"The buyers were also informed that I was 'glana' or a virgin. The correlated term is 'metaglana,' used to designate the state to which the glana state looks forward, or that which it is regarded as anticipating.

WORK SLAVE:

"About her forehead, tying back her dark hair, was a strip of rep cloth, brown, of the same material as the work tunic. I knew this meant she had authority among the girls. Ena was high girl in the camp, but I suspected that Ute might be first among the work slaves."Book 7, Captive of Gor, page 285

"I looked up at Ute. 'You wear the Kajira talmit,' I said.'The first girl of the work slaves,' said Ute, 'had been sold shortly before my capture. There had been dissensions, factions, among the girls, each wanting one of their own party to be first girl. I was new. I had no allegiances. Rask of Treve, by his will, and because, for some reason, he trusted me, set me above them all.' "Book 7, Captive of Gor, page 286

"I wore a brief, one-piece brown work tunic. It was all I wore, with the exception of the collar. We wore such tunics when engaged as work slaves. The tunics of work slaves are usually brown or gray."Book 11, Slave Girl of Gor, page 265

"It was a sleeveless tunic pullover of brown rep cloth. It was generously notched on both sides at the hem, which guarantees an additional baring of its occupants flanks."Book 25, Magicians of Gor, page 2

FIELD SLAVE:

mainly male slaves but female slaves have been known to help the cultivation of the fields and any crops risen

KETTLE SLAVE OR POT GIRL:

a slave girl whose main function is cooking and other menial tasks; used disparagingly

LUCK GIRL:

a slave girl who acts as mascot on-board ship; her use is usually reserved for the captain of the ship, but she may be shared with the crew, usually as a disciplinary measure

PAGA SLAVE:

slaves in paga taverns and inns, to serve domestically and any other way the patron sees fit

"There was a flash of slave bells at my side and a dark-haired, yellow- silked girl, a paga girl, knelt beside us, where we sat cross-legged behind the small table. 'Paga, Masters?''For three,' said I, expansively. 'And bring bread and bosk, and grapes.''Yes, Master.' "Book 8, Hunters of Gor, page 46

"The other girls, the common slaves, like Tendite, went with the price of a cup of paga."Book 8, Hunters of Gor, page 53

--In a paga tavern--"There were the men at the tables, the girls, in slave bells, and yellow silk, serving them."Book 8, Hunters of Gor, page 55

"She came through the kitchen door, in the tiny slip of diaphanous yellow silk allotted to paga slaves, bells locked on her left ankle."Book 8, Hunters of Gor, page 56

"...four paga slaves, in yellow silks, brought up from Laura, chained in a longboat, would have arrived in my camp. It had been the main object of Rim's journey to Laura to arrange for their rentals and delivery. According to Rim they were beauties. I hoped that he was right, for their master, Hesius, tavern owner in Laura, had not charged high rentals nor excessive delivery charges. We would have them for a copper tarn disk apiece, per day."Book 8, Hunters of Gor, page 108

" 'There are paga slaves,' I said, 'who must please their master's customers in his tavern.' "Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 249

" 'There are paga slaves,' I said, 'who must please their master's customers in his tavern. There are the girls who staff the public kitchens and laundries. There are rent slaves, who may be rented to anyone for any purpose, short of their injury or mutilation, unless compensation be rendered to the master. There are state slaves who maintain public compartments, and work in offices and warehouses. There are girls in peasant villages, and girls on great farms, who cook and carry water to the slave gangs. There are beauties who are purchased for a man's pleasure gardens. There are other girls who work in the mills, chained to their looms.' She looked at me, frightened.'Any of these slaveries, or any of many others,' I said, 'could be yours. It depends entirely, pretty Audrey, on who buys you, and what he wants.' "Book 12, Beasts of Gor, pages 249 - 250

PAGAR KAJIRA:

pleasure slave

SA-FORA:

slave girl

SCRIBE SLAVE:

These slaves are somewhat rare, since slaves are seldom taught to read or write. Since teaching takes time and money a large number of scribes slaves are High Caste Free Women of the scribe caste that have been captured. These slaves are used by merchants and administrators mostly. They help keep the books and records that others feel as a tiresome duty. As in the case of all slaves they are not above cooking, cleaning and warming the furs of their Masters

SIDE-BLOCK GIRL:

a slave girl sold for a fixed price from the side block of a slave auction house, instead of auctioned from the main block; used disparagingly

SEDUCTION SLAVE:

"The handsome, charming, suave, witty Milo," said the fellow, "is a seduction slave.""A seduction slave?" she wept."Yes," he said. "He has much increased my stock of slaves." She tore at the net, in tears, but helpless."Had you, and your predecessors, not been so secretive, so much concerned to conceal your affairs with a slave, Milos utility as a seduction slave would have doubtless been much diminished by now. On the other hand, the concern for your reputation and such, so natural in you free women, almost guarantees the repeatability, and continued success, of these small pleasant projects."Magicians of Gor, page 8

SILK GIRL:

term used by those of Torvaldsland to denote a slave girl from the southern cities; often used disparagingly

" 'Look!' cried Pudding. 'a silk girl!' The expression 'silk girl' is used, often, among bond-maids of the north, to refer to their counterparts in the south. the expression reflects their belief that such girls are spoiled, excessively pampered, indulged and coddled, sleek pets, who have little to do but adorn themselves with cosmetics and await their Masters, cuddled cutely, on plush, scarlet coverlets, fringed with gold. there is some envy in this charge, I think. more literally, the expression tends to be based on the fact that the brief slave tunic of the south, the single garment permitted the female slave, is often of silk. southern girls, incidentally, in my opinion, though scarcely worked as their northern sisters in bondage, a function of the economic distinction between the farm and city, are often worked, and worked hard, particularly if they have not pleased their Masters."Book 9, Marauders of Gor, page 144

TAVERN SLAVE:

The most common type of slave. These slaves are referred to as kettle-and-mat slaves. In other words, they do everything from serve as scullions, cooking, and serving, to warming a Masters furs at night. They are often referred to as pleasure slaves, but are not.

CHAMBER SLAVE:

"As I had expected about her white throat there was fastened, graceful and gleaming, the slender, close-fitting collar of a Gorean slave girl.It was a collar like most others, of steel, secured with a small, heavy lock which closed behind the girl's neck.'You see', said the girl, 'I did not lie to you.' 'Your demeanor,' I said, 'does not suggest that of a slave girl.' She rose to her feet and backed away, her hands at the shoulders of her robe. 'Nonetheless,' she said, 'I am a slave girl.' She turned away, 'Do you wish to see my brand?' she asked, contemptuously.'No,' I said.So she was a slave girl.But on her collar there was not written the name of her owner and his city, as I would have expected. Instead I had read there only the Gorean numeral which would correspond to '708'.'You may do with me what you please' said the girl, turning to face me. 'as long as you are in this room I belong to you.''I don't understand,' I said.'I am a Chamber Slave,' she said.'I don't understand,' I said.'It means,' she said, irritably, 'that I am confined to this room, and that I am the slave of whoever enters the room.''But surely you can leave,' I said.I gestured to the massive portal which, empty of the door or gate, led only too clearly into the corridor beyond. 'No,' she said bitterly, 'I cannot leave.' I arose and walked through the portal and found myself in a long stone passageway beyond it which stretched as far as I could see in either direction. It was lit with energy bulbs.....Standing in the passageway outside the room I extended my hand to the girl. 'Come,' I said. 'there is no danger.'She ran to the far wall and crouched against the it, 'No,' she cried.....I gathered her in my arms and she fought like a she-larl, screaming, I wanted to convince her that there was no danger, that her fears were groundless. Her fingernails clawed across my face.I was angered and I swept from her feet so she was helpless in my arms.I began to carry her toward the portal.'Please.' she whispered, her voice hoarse with terror. 'Please, Master, no, no, Master!.'She sounded so piteous that I abandoned my plan and released her, though I was irritated by her fear.She collapsed at my feet, shaking and whimpering, and put her head to my knee. 'Look!,' she said, pointing to the great threshold.I looked but I saw nothing other then the stone sides of the portal and on each side three rounded red domes, of perhaps four inches width apiece.'They are harmless,' I said, for I had passed them with safety. To demonstrate this I again left the chamber.Outside the chamber, carved over the portal, I saw something I had not noted before. In Gorean notation, the numeral '708' was carved above the door. I now understood the meaning of the numeral on the girl's collar. I re-entered the chamber. 'You see, I said, 'they are harmless.''For you,' she said, 'not for me.''Why not,' I asked.....'There,' she said, pointing to the small rounded domes set in the sides of the portal.'I don't understand,' I said.She moved from my arms and approached the portal. When she was within perhaps a yard of the exit the small red domes began to glow."Book 3, Priest Kings of Gor, pages 35 - 39

TOWER SLAVE:

a state slave girl in any of the cities of Gor; her duties in the apartment cylinders are largely domestic.

"The position of the tower slave, in most cities, is very similar to that of the pleasure slave. The major difference is that the tower slave, whose duties are commonly, primarily, domestic, kneels with her knees in a closed position, whereas the pleasure slave, in a symbolic recognition of the fuller nature of her bondage, and its most significant aspects, kneels with them in open position. The tower slave, of course, like any other slave, is fully at the disposal of the master, in any and every way. The distinction between the tower slave and the pleasure slave, though honored in some markets, some specializing in girls sold primarily for housekeeping purposes and others in girls sold primarily for the pleasures of men, is not really a hard and fast distinction; it is not absolute; indeed, it can even be transitory. A girl who is ordered to open her knees, or who finds them kicked apart, for example, realizes that she has now become a pleasure slave. Similarly a girl in one context may function as one kind of slave and in another context, as another sort. Serving supper to a young man and his mother, for example, the girl may appear merely efficient and deferential. She kneels nearby, her knees closed. After the mother departs, however, she may kneel differently before the young man, with her knees open, his.""Blood Brothers of Gor" (page107)

CITY SLAVE:

slave girl in any of the cities of Gor; her duties in the apartment cylinders are largely domestic
